CradlePoint MBR1000 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.6.9
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
5.13.2
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a method to
extend a wireless network using multiple Access Points
(AP). Use the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) menu
to share a single WAN connection over great distances.
WARNING: WDS can have a drastic impact on 802.11
Wi-Fi performance when used with multiple Access
Points. CradlePoint devices have been tested to work
using other CradlePoint
guaranteed to work with 3rd party vendors. Requirements:

2 WDS Compatible Devices (Document assumes
2 CradlePoint Devices)

Full HTML Browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer,
Safari, Opera, etc.)
Step 1: Change LAN IP. To enable WDS, you will need
to change some settings in configurations of the repeater
router and WAN connected router. First, connect to the
unit that will function as the repeater by typing its IP
address in a browser (default IP address for the
MBR1000 192.168.0.1). Go to the Basic → LAN
submenu. Change the IP address of this unit to
192.168.0.5 and click Save Settings. When prompted to Reboot or Continue, click Continue.
NOTE: You cannot use 192.168.0.2 as an IP address for the repeater router as it is used for additional services by the WAN router.
Step 2: Disable DHCP. Go to the Basic → DHCP sub-menu. Disable the DHCP server by un-checking the Enable DHCP Server check box.
Click Save Settings. When prompted to Reboot or Continue, click Continue.
NOTE: This will allow DHCP to be controlled by the WAN router and will avoid any possible conflicts with the DHCP address assignment not
syncing between units.
